Monday, July 10
12:50-2:10 p.m.
in the Olympic room, 2nd floor
Round Table Research Discussion and Lunch:
Join us for a free lunch served together with a discussion on one of the
following research topics:
Tables:
Table #1. MIMO Broadcast Capacity and Space-Time Coding
Papers:
- T. M. Cover, "Comments on Broadcast Channels"
This is a short and very nice tutorial on the broadcast channel but does
not contain what is known the MIMO broadcast channel.
- G. Caire and S. Shamai (Shitz), "On the Achievable Throughput of a
Multiantenna Gaussian Broadcast Channel"
This is the paper which launched the interest in MIMO broadcast channels
and introduces Costa coding in the context of the broadcast channel.
- S. Vishwanath, N. Jindal and A. Goldsmith, "Duality,
Achievable Rates, and Sum-Rate Capacity of Gaussian MIMO Broadcast Channels"
This is a key paper on uplink-downlink duality and establishes the
sum-capacity.
- H. Weingarten, Y. Steinberg and S. Shamai (Shitz), "The
Capacity Region of the Gaussian Multiple Input Multiple Output Broadcast
Channel", IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INFORMATION THEORY, SEP 2006
This paper contains the converse for the capacity region of this channel
and introduces the idea of channel enhancement.
Table #2. Capacity with Feedback
Papers:
- J Schalkwijk, T Kailath, "A coding scheme for additive noise channels
with feedback I: No bandwidth constraint"
- L Ozarow, "The capacity of the white Gaussian multiple access channel
with feedback"
- J. Massey, "Causality, Feedback and Directed Information"
- T. Cover, S. Pombra, "Gaussian Feedback Capacity"
- M.V. Burnashev "Data transmission over a discrete channel with feedback,
random transmission time"
Table #3. Cooperation and Relaying
Papers:
- T. Cover and A. El Gamal, "Capacity Theorems for the Relay Channel"
Table #4. Network Coding
Papers:
- S.P Borade, "Network information flow: limits and achievability"
- R. Dougherty, C. Freiling, and K. Zeger "Unachievability of Network
Coding Capacity"
Table #5. Secrecy System Capacity
Papers:
- A. D. Wyner, "The Wire-Tap Channel"
- I. Csiszar and J. Korner "Broadcast Channels with Confidential Messages"
Both tutorial papers and recent results will be discussed.
Thursday, July 13
12:50-2:10 p.m.
in the Grand Ballroom II
IT Student Committee Meeting and Panel
Panel Topic:
"How to Choose, Formulate and Solve an Information Theory Problem"
The panelists will be: Rob Calderbank, Tom Cover,
Michelle Effros, Tony Ephremides, Ralf Koetter, and Alon Orlitsky.
Join us for the committee meeting to learn about the latest activities and
plan future ones, for the panel discussion with our panelists and for a free
lunch.
Free T-shirts with the new IT Student Committee design for all participants.
